Imaging examples. MSU = monosodium urate reconstruction; CT-S = CT subtraction; VNCa = virtual non-calcium images to assess bone marrow edema. A: A 65 y/o male with initially suspected PsA. In CE-DECT, crystals were visible in the region of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (gray arrow) and the 2nd & 3rd MCP joint, confirmed to be MSU crystals. B: A 66 y/o male with initially suspected RA. CE-DECT revealed MSU crystals at the triangular fibrocartilage complex (gray arrows, indicated by red coding), with active inflammation detected in CT-S (gray arrow). C: A 43 y/o female with initially suspected gouty arthritis. CE-DECT showed erosions at the base of the 1st metacarpal bone (black arrows). D: A 30 y/o male with initially suspected AOSD. No abnormalities were detected in CE-DECT, leading to assumption of a normal finding. However, the patient ultimately received a final dx of AOSD. Contrast medium can be seen within vessels in CT-S (gray arrowhead) but not within the synovium

In a prospective cohort of patients with suspected arthritis of the hand, contrast-enhanced dual-energy CT showed diagnostic value for suspected inflammatory arthritis. Incorporating CE-DECT into routine practice may support therapeutic decision-making

Bioengineering structural anisotropy in living tissues Nature Reviews Bioengineering, Published online: 30 July 2025; doi:10.1038/s44222-025-00338-xStructural anisotropy is crucial for the function of various human tissues such as myocardial and locomotion muscles and cornea. In this Review, the authors summarize the development of structural anisotropy in native tissues and discuss in vitro reductionist approaches to understand and direct anisotropy for tissue regeneration applications.

Arenaza-Urquijo: women show more tau pathology and more cognitive resilience to AB+ than men. This may be driven by differences in neuroinflammation #AAIC2025

"Everyone should have equal access to safe, timely, and high-quality care. This review is a long-overdue opportunity to listen to LGBT+ patients and healthcare professionals, identify where the system is falling short, and most importantly partner with this community to make improvements.

"For too long, LGBT+ people have faced unacceptable barriers when accessing care, including poor experiences with primary care, limited access to mental health support, and essential services like cancer screening," says @rachel-p.bsky.social www.patients-association.org.uk/News/the-pat...
